Playing career
Club
In 2013, Berry signed with Leeds United's youth team on a two-year deal after thirteen years playing for Blacktown City.[1] The deal eventuated following a match in Malaysia for the Australia under-13 side where a scout identified Berry.[1] He made his first start for the under-18s on 4 November 2013, scoring in a 3–1 win over Derby County.[2] In May 2015, Berry was released by Leeds.[3]
Berry returned to Australia in mid-2015, and joined Central Coast Mariners, where he represented the senior side in pre-season matches as a trialist, including setting up a goal for Daniel Heffernan against Western Sydney Wanderers.[4] He was later named in the Central Coast Mariners youth team.[5] He made his competitive debut for the club in February 2016, coming on as a substitute in a loss to Melbourne City.[6]
International
Berry made his debut for the Australian under-20 side in May 2015 in a loss to the United States in Gosford, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jaushua Sotirio.[7] He was subsequently selected in the Australia squad for 2016 AFC U-19 Championship qualification.[8]
